[IWunD3r]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is part of the problem....

I agree with her , you c00ns stay allowing non black individuals to run and takeover what we create. I can guarantee more black c00ns support Bruno mars then any black male artist r&b

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

People can’t be influenced by greats anymore?


Bruno has been successful without this style of music that he’s currently doing.

Theres a pretty thick line between being influenced by and biting... see Jay re-spitting Biggies lines postmortem

And if he was successful without the current style of music he's doing... why is he doing the current style of music hes doing

"You c00ns?"

What have you done to stop Bruno Mars from getting into his spot? What are you doing to ensure black people retain ownership of our creations and culture? Make accusatory posts on TheColi.com on your lunch break?

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Will this calling Bruno Mars out amount to anything? I mean black folks are making funk music but they aren't getting love from US. Just auguing over Bruno isn't going to help because he's just going to drop another album and win more awards.

Because he’s influenced by it.

So who have you supported? What artists were you listening to that didn’t release trap/faux-dancehall shyt? Have you educated others to them, or did you just randomly agree so you could call people c00ns without basis?

You caught that before I could edit it. I deleted it because someone pointed out that she was taken out of context.

Bruno is a cultural appropriator for sure

But I can't be mad at dude who says

“When you say “black music,” understand that you are talkning about rock, jazz, R&B, reggae, funk, doo-wop, hip-hop, and MoTown,” she said. “Black people created it all. Being Puerto Rican, even salsa music stems back to the Motherland. So, in my world, black music means everything.”

And she post here

What's her name?

Site full of grown as black men playing Johnny Cochran for Bruno fukking Mars.

This ... this ... this...


She and others who agree with her are still coming from the standpoint of victimization ...

On some ... “They don’t like us”


So... get behind your own people’s shyt then.



Be leery of these types. #StayWoke

Someone on Tariq Nasheeds IG said that the powers that be are pushing Shea Butters as the face of the black community so they can take marginal issues, make them into big deals and ultimately trivialize real issues concerning racism. I’m inclined to agree

 

[@OffHalsted]

Tired of these, “b-b-but what if so and so made an album, it wouldn’t have sold”

shyt isn’t an argument because there is nothing to base it on. Maybe if these R&B singers stopped trying to fukking rap and make trap anthems, they would be more open. Why blame Bruno, for paying homage to those of the past, while his contemporaries are chasing a quick buck.

Be mad at others for not making music like that. We had Usher making stripper songs and shyt, but wanna get mad at someone trying to reinvigorate a genre that hasn’t had mainstream buzz since past 94. Foh.

blackSUMMERS'night which is better than Bruno album

Paul Mardles was less enthusiastic in The Observer, suggesting the record lacked memorable songs and innovative sounds; apart from funky songs such as "Lake by the Ocean", blackSUMMERS'night makes Maxwell, "in the era of Frank Ocean, look like the yesterday’s man of R&B", Madles wrote.[18] Jim Carroll of The Irish Times also found the music relatively "old-fashioned" and wrote, "there are far too many moments here when he appears to be relying on that rich, chocolate voice to woo you rather than try something different or risky."[10] But who asked them, though?

But when Blacks do R&B its old fashioned and tired
Even Blacks fell that way
Mainstream & Even Black mainstream didn't give this album no real promotion
